Conor McGregror Insists He Could Demolish Floyd Mayweather In A Rematch

Conor McGregor clearly didn’t learn the first time that he is no match for Floyd Maywether. Besides losing to Money Mayweather in a boxing match in Aug. 2017, the UFC fight has a taste for more blood. In fact, in a recent interview with BBC, McGregor claimed her could beat Mayweather in a rematch.

"If we had a rematch? I would correct it. And I would beat him," McGregor said. Despite his boost of confidence, McGregor said he wouldn’t officially challenge the undefeated champion. "He's retired,” he explained. “I'm not going to stay calling him out all the time -- I'm going to leave him to it -- if it happens, maybe it will, who knows? I would beat him. No doubt."

McGregor says it’s nothing personal though; he respects Mayweather and his previous loss. "I respect what [he's done]. 50-0 -- after the fact I was like ... I accept [the loss] and just let him be. Maybe though. Who knows? We'll see,” he added.

Mayweather won in the 10th round of his match against McGregor by way of TKO. His win surpassed Rocky Marciano’s stats and set the record for longest active, undefeated streak in a professional career at 50-0. Following the fight, Mayweather declared: "This was my last fight. Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, for sure I chose the right dance partner to dance with. Conor McGregor, you are a hell of a champion."

He may be retired, but it was reported that Mayweather earned $300 million from the fight. So maybe another $300 million could make even him come out of hiding one more time. We’ll have to wait and see.

Talib Kweli made a major announcement about the forthcoming Black Star album with Yasiin Bey (a.k.a Mos Def) during Wednesday’s (June 3) episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Kweli appeared on the late night talks show to discuss social justice topics such as activism, racism, reparations, and police brutality.

In between discussing current events and his solo album, the Brooklyn native dropped a few details about the progress of the Black Star project.

“A lot of people have been hitting me up like 'We need that Black Star album, we need that Black Star album.' Me and Mos Def are in the final stages of the Black Star album,” he revealed. “It's produced completely by Madlib, so shoutout to Madlib and everybody at Oxnard. The new Black Star album is dealing with a lot of this subject matter. I'm working hard to get it out to the people."

The album will be the long-awaited follow-up to the hip-hop duo’s critically acclaimed 1998 debut LP, Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star. This isn't the first time that Black Star has made mention of the album. In 2018, Yasiin announced that the album was “coming soon.”

Kanye West popped up at a “Justice for George Floyd” rally in Chicago, hours after his $2 million donation to the families of Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery was announced. West was spotted marching alongside demonstrators on the city’s South Side on Thursday (June 4).

The Chicago native contacted organizers with GoodKids MadCity to participate in the march, USA Today reports.

Yeezy didn’t stay for very long but he attempted to remain lowkey in a black mask and hoodie. According to reports, the peaceful march became somewhat chaotic as the press swarmed his black SUV.

In addition to showing support for the protest and donating money to cover legal bills and other expenses for Taylor, Arbery's and Floyd's families, the Grammy-winning rapper created a college fund for Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter.

The POTUS and presidential hopeful are invited to appear on an episode of, Justice Now: A BET News Special, where they will “directly address the concerns of Black America” and share their plans to move the country forward.

BET is leveraging every platform and resource at our disposal to support and inform our community and help identify strategies and viable solutions in this time of crisis.”

Hosted by Marc Lamont Hill, the first installment of Justice Now, debuted on Tuesday night and featured conversations with George Floyd’s family, former NBA player Stephen Jackson (who was friends with Floyd), John Legend, T.I, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, activist Tamika Mallory, NAACP President Derrick Johnson, Senator Cory Booker and more.
